Informed someone officially or gave them notice about something important.
From Latin 'notificāre,' combining 'notus' (known) and 'facere' (to make). It entered English in the 14th century meaning 'to make known.'
The word 'notify' literally means 'to make known,' and it's built from the same Latin root as 'note'—so when you notify someone, you're essentially giving them something worth noting.
